I've never had that problem. Try changing the VGA cable connected to the monitor, or if you have it connected via hdmi..if that doesn't work I would have to say it's the monitor. In cases like these, it's mostly the monitor. I actually just had a monitor do this to me as well, I had to buy a new monitor.

There should be 2 VGA ports IIRC and an HDMI. Try it with a different monitor too!!

I really don't know the answer but reading the other responses, if it is the monitor I bought a viewsonic monitor and not having that problem.

Yep ours did that too. Ended up sending it back and getting a higher quality PC. No problems since

I have also had intermittent connection on the Mini Display Port connector. I would get a blinking display or lines in the display. Make sure it is well seated, then it seems to work better. I am not sure if it is only this cable, or inherent in the Mini Display Port connection.

Call summers custumer support. They are very nice and I think they can help you to fix your monitor.

If one of your monitor stop working, it might be the power connection (DC 12V). Check the connector is it proper connect or disconnect.

I got it connected but the screen flickers every few seconds. I Think I got a defective mini dvi.

Replace the DisplayPort cable, it sucks.Buy another, much thicker one,one that's rated for 2160 x 3840 pixels, 60 Hz, IPS, DisplayPort 1.2 . Seriously.With a bad/poor cable, like the one that comeswith the $700 Dell UltraSharp UP2414Q,you might be forced into 29 Hz, low-res mode...and/or the cable will just plain break, causing garbage to appear on the screen.It's worse if you swing it portrait, and/or move it around a lot.The original cable had bent pins and the like... really bad.Why did Dell give me such a -crappy- cable ? ?Dell's cable is half the thickness of the $9 one I boughtto replace it ( same day shipping, from/to Seattle, Amazon ).

I've had mine about a month and have had no such issue. I would try a different video cable and power cord, then call Asus support.

I have not had that problem, mine has worked fine but is used for more of a TV, look in the settings, there may be a power setting in the menu on the monitor, otherwise turn off the computer and monitor and make sure the DVI connection is good on both sides and try again.Try a different DVI cable as well, as the other commenter recommended.

have you tried using a higher quality HDMI cable? Also, sometimes those cables can have small breaks in them that are not visable from the outside. And it will cause the source signal to drop.. are you getting a black/blank screen?? Or an error message??

My only suggestion is that you change out the cables you are using. If you are using VGA or HDMI, etc., try a new one. Sometimes that will take care of the problem.

Signal strength may be the problem. Hard wire the unit to the computer and see if it disconnects. Also check the computer settings to see if it powers down certain ports or aspects of operations while just playing a movie every 20 minutes.

It may be either your BIOS settings with regard to the monitor or it could be a problem with your graphics card. This website details a similar problem and has some suggestions. I personally haven't had this problem, but I tried googling the problem and found this for you. I hope it helps. http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/monitor-goes-black-but-pc-keeps-running.92250/

Thanks, If I can get/keep a connection I'll try downloading the driver. Already did the power saver. No luck for me there.

I had a something like that happen but only because of a bad connection with my cables and I was trying to do a dual monitor with a lesser resolution. FixING the cables and getting a better second monitor fixed it for me. Hope you didn't just get a bad monitor

Sorry have never experienced that issue, have you tried using another HDMI or DVI cable to try and rule out if that seems to be the issue?

I have never had that problem. It is probably just your particular monitor. You need to contact Amazon and they will get you another or do something to help you out.

Call the company from which the monitor came from. They will validate your warrenty and issue you a RMA number. Then you will be able to send the monitor back to the company. They will either repair it or replace it.
